In recent years, great players such as Zlatan Ibrahimovic, David Beckham, Andrea Pirlo, Thierry Henry, Didier Drogba have arrived in the MLS league, but what Lionel Messi brings with him is hardly any other star in the world.
The magician from Rosary announced yesterday that he will soon become a new Inter Miami player, and as soon as that news appeared, the "Messi mania" started in Florida, but also in the whole world.
As reported by Reuters, the ticket for Messi's eventual debut on July 21 against Cruz Azul (League Cup of North and Central America) jumped from $29 to $329 in just one day. What will certainly be a problem for David Beckham's club is the fact that the stadium in Miami, where Messi's new club plays, receives only 18.000 spectators.

With all that, the prices of Miami's away matches are also rising, because apparently the entire United States of America wants to watch Messi.
As expected, the "frenzy" started on social networks as well, so before the news of Messi's arrival Inter had a little over a million followers on Instagram, just before the official confirmation 1,8 million, and twenty hours later as many as five million.
The best soccer player on the planet was also welcomed by the Miami Heat NBA team on the scoreboard during the grand final against Denver.
There is also euphoria among the fans of Inter, a club that was founded only five years ago, so several murals with Messi's image appeared on the streets of Miami.
